MOVING-PICTURE AND SOUND-REPRODUCING MACHINE.

Applicationfaled April 1,

' This invention relates toa combinedmpving picture and sound reproducing machine, and the Objectis to provide an apparatus designed for taking pictures of a singer during the time the record is being made, these pictures being produced on a continuous ilm and reproduced subsequently on a moving picture machine mounted within the cabinet of a talking machine of commercial type, the phonographic record being simultaneously reproduced. y

A further object is to provide suitable operating mechanism, whereby the timing of the various portions of the mechanism 1s effectively controlled. l

A still further object is to provide for throwing out of operation either the picture making or the picture reproducing device.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and -arrangement of elements described and claimed, it being understood that modifications may be made within the scope o'f the claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through the cabinet which houses the operative mechanism illustrated chiefly in elevation; Figure 2 is ahorizontal section through theu'pper portion of the cabinet, showing at the right the camera for taking pictures, the electric motor and shaft driven thereby, and showing the projecting machine at the left.

The cabinet of a sound reproducing machine of a standard commercialvtype, is designated 10, the cover being shown at 11, and

This disk 12 isdriven by shaft 13 carrying a bevel pinion 14 meshing with bevel pinion 15 on Amotor shaft' 17. The tone arm is shown at 18, and the screen offibrous material 20, is mounted in the position lever 29. Bevelled gears 30- and 31 drivev shaft 32 from shaftA 23, and similar gears 33 and 34 drive shaft 35 and film roll 36 of the record mounting disk being designated- 1922. Serial No. 548,648.

camera 37. This camera is mounted on a bracket 38 carried by the wall of the cabinet. The film is designated 39, and the upper hlm roll is shown at 40. The driving mechanism just described is supported in bearings of bracket 42.

vIt is intended that this camera shall be employed for taking pictures of the artist, on a continuous film, atthe time the original record is being produced by suitable receiving means, not illustrated.

The moving picture projecting machine is A designated 45 and is mounted on a bracket. `46 supported on the wall ofthevcabinet.

The upper film roll is-designated 47, and the lower film roll shown at 48. The latter be ing driven by means of shaft 49, bevel gearing 50,'s'haft 51,' mounted in bearing 52, and gearing 53 driving from shaft- 54. This shaft last named 'carries a slidable gear Wheel 55 rotating with the shaft Aand controlled by rod 56 and lever 57. A gear wheel 58`on shaft 59 is adapted to mesh with gear` wheel 55 when desired, and shaft 59 carries a bevelled pinion o() meshing with pinion before named. Shafts 23 and 54 may be termed intermediate shafts, in viewof their position between driving shaft 17 and shafts 32 and 51 controlling the operative elements of the. camera and projecting machine. ,l i At the time the original record is made,

the controlling lever 29 being first shifted to throw into mesh the operating means for the film of the camera. The pictures ofthe depictures of the artist or performer are made -on a contmuous film by means of camera 37,

veloped film are subsequently projected by machineg45, the operating mechanism therefor being thrown in by lever 57, therecord being reproduced simultaneously, andthe timing corresponding with the timing when the record and film were first reproduced.

The machine 45 is mountedat an angle and permits the 'ictures to be projected on the screen 20 t rough which the sound vibrations areA emitted.

The apparatus for'producing the original record isnot shownin detail,.but is illustrated conventionally and the speakers horn is designated 65.

What is claimed is:

The combination with a camera and projecting machine, of shafts for driving` the operative elements of said camera and projecting machine, a driving shaft, a turn table and gearing between the table and driving shaft, intermediate shafts geared respectively to the shafts first named, means in-V cluding a clutch and gearing for placing vone of the intermediate shafts in operative relation to the driving shaft, and means including a clutch and gearing for placing the other intermediate shaft in operative relationto the gearing between the table and 10 driving' shaft.

In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature.
